Billy Wynne was signed as an amateur free agent prior to the 1965 season. Wynne made his Met debut on August 6th, 1967, mopping up a Danny Frisella start and pitching a scoreless 9th. Wynne was perfect in his five appearances out of the pen, but allowed 4 runs, 3 earned, in his only Met start. He was lifted after recording only four outs in a crazy extra innings game in which Tom Seaver took the loss in the 14th inning. On December 15th, 1967, Wynne was dealt to the White Sox along with Jack Fisher, in a huge trade that brought Tommy Agee and Al Weis to the Mets. Billy finished his Met career with a 3.12 ERA, no wins, no losses.
Mr. Wynne signed my baseball through the mail after being mailed to his home in May 2018.
